When it comes to surety bonds, “good enough” doesn’t cut it. At ZipBonds, we believe contractors and insurance agents deserve more speed, expertise, and support from start to finish. Unlike providers that dabble in both insurance and bonds, we focus 100% on surety. That means we don’t just issue bonds; we craft solutions.
Our approach isn’t about fitting you into a mold but breaking it. Every step we take is designed to give you a competitive edge, from same-day service and direct access to expert underwriters to creative problem-solving for “hard-to-place” bonds. With extended hours (7 AM—7 PM CT), you can count on us to be there when you need us.
In this article, we’re laying out 10 reasons ZipBonds stands out from other surety providers. If you’re tired of one-size-fits-all service or endless delays, read on!
Not Your Average Surety Provider: 10 Reasons ZipBonds Stands Out
1. Bonds are all we do.
Many surety companies also offer insurance, and their knowledge tends to be broader than it is deep. At ZipBonds, we ONLY provide surety bonds and have a depth of knowledge many providers lack. We also have the best surety partners in the country and can offer same-day service and competitive prices on thousands of bonds to help our clients reach their short- and long-term goals.
Our team knows surety inside and out, and we love putting our knowledge and creative problem-solving skills to work for you.
2. We’re fast AND reliable.
We have some of the best surety partners in the country, including the SBA, to position our clients to be as competitive and profitable as possible. We will work every angle to offer you the best options and most competitive bond programs. Our goal with every submission is to find an option, even if it’s hard to place!
We also understand the importance of being available and prioritizing our clients’ needs. We pride ourselves on same-day service for most bond requests for direct-to-consumer contractors and insurance agent partners.
3. Our experts take the time to understand your projects.
Our agents will talk with you to ensure we understand the project you need bonding for. Even if another surety provider gave you certain limits, we will double-check to see if you have a better option. Don’t hesitate to give us a call and see if we can find you a more suitable solution or increase your bonding capacity.

4. We will seek out projects for you.
If you’re a contractor, you can tell us what you want to bid, the size of your project, and how far you can travel. We can then look for suitable projects and ship them to you! ZipBonds also assists throughout the entire bid process to help ensure your bid is accepted.
If you’re looking for a company that will be by your side and fight for you every step of the way, look no further!
5. We genuinely care about our clients.
We want to become more than a signature on a bond. We will become part of your team to put you in the best possible position to win more work or obtain the bonds you need. We genuinely care about each of our clients and will go above and beyond to put them first, no matter what.
6. We’re honest no matter what.
Another one of our top values is to always tell the truth. We put in the work and don’t take shortcuts, serving our clients to the best of our abilities while always being honest, even when it’s not easy!
7. We answer the phone.
At ZipBonds, we’re committed to being there for you whenever you need us! You can call, text, or email us, and we’ll respond. No more waiting for hours or days for a response about your bond.
We recently changed our business hours to 7 AM—7 PM CT, allowing us to be available when you need us most. Whether you have an urgent bond request or a quick question, our extended hours ensure you get the necessary answers and support without unnecessary delays.
8. We have options for hard-to-place contract bonds.
CONTRACTORS: Have you ever had a tough situation due to a large bid spread, a rough year, or something else? Here are a few ways we work with our carriers to make the impossible possible.
- Funds control
- Co-signer
- Collateral
- ILOC
- Sub bond backs
- Breaking up contracts
- Funds administration hold back
- A mixture of any of these
9. We offer pre-qualification for contractors.
If you’re a contractor, we can provide you with your pre-qualified bond capacity within minutes and share the next steps to secure your contract bonds as quickly as possible.
10. We have options.
Whether you’re an agent or contractor, we’ll do all we can to get you an option. Working with a company that only does bonds allows us to move quickly and leave no stone unturned. We offer thousands of license and permit, commercial, construction, and court bond options and provide same-day service on many of them.
